A funny video from a Coldplay concert has taken over social media, and now even Elon Musk has jumped in to make jokes about it. The video shows Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and his HR head Kristin Cabot sharing a kiss on the “kiss cam” during the concert. The clip quickly went viral, leading to what the internet is now calling “Coldplaygate.”
Adding his own twist, Elon Musk posted a meme on X (formerly Twitter), showing OpenAI boss Sam Altman and former Apple designer Jony Ive edited into the same “kiss cam” scene. Musk even captioned it “Viva la Vida,” a reference to Coldplay’s hit song. His meme got people laughing and brought even more attention to the whole episode.
Viva la Vida 😂 https://t.co/CO21hwKI4n— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) July 18, 2025
Musk didn’t stop there—he also replied to another post on X with a laughing emoji. That post featured a fake apology from the Astronomer CEO, poking fun at the situation.
So, why is everyone talking about this? People are debating whether it’s okay for a CEO and HR head to get cozy in public, especially at a company event. There’s been a wave of memes, jokes, and even some criticism about workplace behavior.
Interestingly, neither Byron nor Cabot has said anything about it yet. But the internet isn’t slowing down, with people even digging up old posts from Cabot’s social media. Thanks to Elon Musk’s cheeky post, the story just keeps getting bigger.
